I decided to try something different this year to help keep track of the kids daily assignments. I noticed it on another blog so I figured I'd give it a try. It is called HOMESCHOOL TRACKER.

To be honest, it looked a tad overwhelming at first, but once I took the time to play around with it and figure out how it worked, it has made my life so much easier!

I feel more organized and more on top of the kids' assignments. The kids enjoy having a list to go through each day with their assignments and they can keep track of how well they are doing.

Here is an example of my daughter's assignments that I entered in for a day. Once you click "add new", you can modify the subject, description, items needed, date and student's name.

For multiple, repetitive assignments, you can copy them and have them entered repeatedly each day for all the students. I'm pretty repetitious with some subjects such as:

Devotional (we use Keys for Kids)

Daily 30-minute chapter book reading

Journal Entry

Folder Work​

There are some assignments we keep repeating over and over on our daily list just so the kids can see it and mark them off on the printable reports I give them each week. Scroll down to see the actual report being used by my daughter​

Here is the page showing my daughter's Grammar lesson's for the week. (We have our homeschool co-op on Fridays so we do our other subjects over 4 days at home.)

You can view them by student, by date, or by subject just to make sure I have it all entered in correctly.

​

There are so many options you could use this program for. I am just doing the basic now and I'm always learning more as I go. Above is the page you go to once you click on REPORTS.

I set the dates I want printed out and check the student I'm printing for then I can either preview it to make sure it is all correct or print it directly from this page. It's been pretty handy!

Above is a picture of my daugher's weekly assignments. Homeschool Tracker has a printable Reports option. I print these out each week for each kiddo. Each day, as they finish an assignment, they cross it out with a highlighter.

Below is a picture of my daughter marking off an assignment that she has completed from the Weekly Reports of the program. The other one is a closer look at her assignments for the day.

This program has been super helpful for our homeschooling adventure this year. I've actually enjoyed using it and I feel so much more on top of the kids' assignments.

Yes, it is a bit time consuming. Yes, I need to stay a step ahead of my kids to make it work. No, I do not know all the features of this program yet.

There is a ton more it can do that I am still working to figure out; but, it has lots of options that can only improve my record keeping and organization as I homeschool multiple grades and learning levels.

So overall, I'd say that for a FREE Homeschooling planning program...this is fantastic. Maybe I'll upgrade to the next level someday but for now, living on a budget, this one does the trick.

Ephesians 3:20-21

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
